Placing Orders

After a merchant has set up their website, set up their Creative
Cart account, placed buy buttons on their web pages, and uploaded the new web
pages to their web server, customers can begin placing orders using the
shopping cart.

When a customer comes to the site, they can find and read about
the products from the vendor's website. When the customer chooses to order
something, they click on the buy button. This sends a request to a program
running on one of the Creative Cart servers. Creative Cart displays the "View
Cart" page to the customer. The customer can then choose to continue shopping
on the merchant's website, or the customer can check out.

Checking out is a secure process where the customer answers
questions and fills in their information. When they have finished, they submit
their order, Creative Cart displays an order confirmation page, and an order
confirmation e-mail is sent to the customer's e-mail account. Additionally, if
the merchant has allowed it, an order notification e-mail is sent to the
merchant. This configuration is on by default, but can be disabled for vendors
who have many orders per day and do not want their in box constantly filled
with order notifications.
